Knowledge of glass forming ability (GFA) of amorphous metallic alloys is very important from both theoretical and practical point of view. Thermodynamically, the Gibbs free energy difference, ΔG between the undercooled liquid and the corresponding crystalline state is driving force for crystallization. As a consequence, it is a good indicator for glass forming ability of metallic glasses. A novel expression for ΔG has been used to estimate the GFA of recently developed Ca-based bulk metallic glasses viz. Ca53Mg23Cu24,Ca65Mg15Cu20,Ca40Mg25Cu35, Ca50Mg22.5Cu27.5 and Ca55Mg15Cu30. Different GFA criteria are also evaluated for systems taken up in the study and effect of addition of variation in composition of Ca-Mg-Cu system is also investigated. Present work suggests that among different GFA criteria, ΔG is the best criterion for the prediction of GFA for Ca-based bulk metallic glasses.

The specific heat of liquid and solid phases and the heats of crystallization and fusion have been measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for a series of Te80Ge20 − x Pbx alloys (0≤x≤20). The enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of the undercooled liquid are quantitatively assessed with reference to the crystal phases. The available formulas for computing the free energy of the liquid are compared, and their relative merits are discussed. The glass transition temperature is shown to depend strongly on the ratio of the average excess specific heat of the liquid to the entropy of fusion. An anomaly in the liquid specific heat, which is particularly important for Te80Ge20 and Te80Ge15Pb5, leads to very good glass forming ability for these alloys; this is demonstrated by preparing amorphous samples by means of fluxing.
